Help with Eczema and an Allergist for My One Year Old in the Tampa Area

My little girl (15 months) has eczema all over her back, chest and tummy. It first appeared when she was on antibiotics, getting worse with each course of antibiotics that she took for chronic ear infections. (has recently had tubes in her ears, so hoping antibiotics will now be out of the picture) The eczema flares if she eats even the smallest amount of dairy and or eggs. I'm unable to get rid of the current flare up to be sure if there are any other triggers for her eczema. By the end of the day or if we spend any time out in this humid...

Splotchy Skin on My 16 Month Old's Joints

My 16 month old daughter has developed white splotches around her elbows and knees. She's had them for about 2 months. She has eczema (on her feet tops, back of one knee and on one wrist and hand), but has pretty much outgrown it. I've been using Aveeno overnight lotion for about 4 months. I don't use hydrocortisone cream.

Allergic Reaction to Cephalexin

To make a long story short...my otherwise very healthy 4 y/o was prescribed cephalexin (and also at the same time griseofulvin) last week on Thursday. In hindsight, after the first dose I noticed some bumps on his arm and a pink patch on his cheek. But I did not think anything of it. After the 2nd dose all of a sudden I noticed crazy rashes all over his body-face, arms, legs, back, neck, ears (oh, his poor ears). I stopped the meds and took him in to the weekend clinic on Saturday-Dr. thinks is allergic reaction to the cephalexin (as...

Allergy Testing for 13 Month Old

My 13 month old has severe excema on his head and face. At our last doctor visit (last week) my doctor suggested that we get him tested for allergies to see if that would help his excema. His excema is really bad and he constantly itches it and cuts himeself on his scalp. We are using a steroid right now and I would hate to continue to use it so that he is comfortable. So I am asking if anyone has had their toddler allergy tested and what does it entail? Was it painful? I am thinking it is a good idea because if it is an allergen we...

Could I Be Allergic to My Dog?

Please help me ladies! I have battled hives on and off. Last spring was the first episode and I think it was caused by stress. I took Zyrtec and although it basically knocked my out (I was so sleepy and groggy for 24 hours), it took care of the hives. On occasion since then, I have taken it when the itching is unbearable, but the sleepiness really is an inconvenient side effect. Lately, I have had hives on a daily basis (I use dye free soaps and detergents). My legs look horrible due to the itching/scratching. I have started to...

Milk Allergy & Eczema

I have a 2 year old that suffers with eczema. We recently found out that a lot of it has to do with her drinking milk. When we stopped giving her milk her skin cleared up. I recently purchased Lataid Milk for people who are lactose intolerant and she was doing fine with it. She had been drinking it for a couple of days. Last night after she had some she broke out again. I now believe she has a milk allergy. I wanted to find out if anyone else has had a similar issue or knows of another remedy. We know that she is allergic to eggs...

1 Year Old with Eczema and a Peanut Allergy

I have a 1 year old son who has had severe eczema since birth. 3 months ago he had a severe allergic reaction to what we believe to have been a peanut. I took him to a Dermatologist when he was about 7 months old and they said he had eczema. The Dr. gave me a steroid ointment called Desonide and said he believed he would grow out of it. He is still having problems with eczema and he is 14 months. If I do not put the Desonide on him the rash will spread and under his ear lobes and behind his knees will crack and bleed. Does this sound...
